We were up in the Houston area for a wedding shower and decided to check out the famed bolivar peninsula. We got up early and headed out to high island. This sunrise backlit shot of a great egret was one of the first shots I took after setting up.

There 's nothing like cool temperatures and fresh air to raise the spirits. during my forays to the Alabama Hills the temperature can get up into the 100's and when they do, this is where I seek refuge. At around 9000 ft in elevation the difference in temperature is about 15 degrees and there nothing better the a fine mist that floats away from the falls right onto your weary soul.

I'm like a bird, I only fly away

I don't know where my soul is

I don't know where my home is

And baby, all I need for you to know is

I'm like a bird, I'll only fly away

I don't know where my soul is

I don't know where my home is

All I need for you to know is-

Your faith in me brings me to tears

Even after all these years end

And it pains me so much to tell that you don't know me that well

And though my love is rare

Though my love is true

Taken at ELVION

When you see how fragile and delicate life can be, all else fades into the background.

Feels like every day's the same

Chemicals inside my brain

Make me think I'm in a simulation

Nothing ever seems to change

And it's written on my face

Am I living in my own creation?

Am I alive or am I just breathing?

I'm so numb that sometimes I fear

It's all make believe

Is it make believe?

It's very hot in Rome todey! I was inspired.........

i like Minneapolis a lot, and this is a particularly nice place. in the heart of the city. The famous St. Anthony Falls are by now a completely artificial hydrotechnical contraption. But the might of the river is still quite evident. The falls used to be the place where Mississippi stops being navigable, and served as the source of wealth for Minneapolis, providing power to its numerous mills.

And that's just what this young Grizzly Bear sow was sleeping like.

Many thanks for the visits, comments and faves!

so much like stars

filling the dark trees

its reason for being was nothing more

than prettiness.”

June 3rd, 1am. We are on the road, looking around for potentially good spots for some more astrophotos. In essence we are "chasing" the stars. While I was driving and the girls had their own small talk with several issues to resolve as usual, I spotted a small abandoned house on the side of the road, next to the sea. Literally next to the water with small waves breaking just in front of it. Quick stop and out to see what we got. Five minutes later we are all out there taking night photos of Hydra, the island across that beach! Seen and been there on this island several times in the past, but this time it was different. We were looking at the island and saw it like we had never seen it before! What can I say... We live in a tough world yet a magical one as well!!!

Like so much of the flora this year, the hot dry weather has advanced nature. Roses, like this one already fading.
